Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights:#1 P. I. Gunn was a navy pilot who had survived countless adventures. He and his wife, Polly, had thrived despite everything a hard and dangerous life threw at them. He had a standard U. S. Navy BUSHIPS Hamilton wristwatch, a legacy of a career now four years in his rearview mirror.#2 P. I. was a complex and sometimes tortured man. He had once been defined by his family’s socioeconomic station in their tiny town back home in Arkansas. He had invented and reinvented himself many times, layer after layer, until he had become a mix of often contradictory elements.#3 The family struggled in 1939, but by 1940, they were able to live comfortably. The four children were being educated in first-rate private schools. Polly’s load around the household was eased, and she spent her days with the children or volunteering at the local Red Cross with the wives of other upper middle class families.#4 The family’s bed was always with them as they moved from base to base, and P. I. always made sure his daughters were taken care of by the pilots he trusted.
